We'd better start taking a closer look at the amoral nature of gravity & electromagnetism.

@rynso We call GM code because it can be translated to predict genotypes with some level of accuracy. However, Genetic material exhibits it's function via natural phys-chem reactions. Likewise, fundamental particles exhibit their function via natural phys-chem reactions on a very predictable level. Words on a page exhibit their function via conscious translation. Likewise, some genetic material can be consciously translated for the function of genotype prediction this is why it's called code.

@rynso "No one is saying the reason it is called a code is because of its complexity. It is called a code because it has all the characteristics of a code." - rynso

"The genetic code is genuinely a code which carries genuine 'information' (actually the most complicated known), and thus is the product of mind not matter." - rynso

@Itseasyifyoutry "Yes abiogenesis is a hypothesis, but one totally unsupported by any evidence, in fact counter to all evidence."

You have not provided any kind of support for this assertion. Did you know there are some people who don't blindly take everything at face value. I know it's scary, they must be crazy!

[Itseasyifyoutry]

@rynso A fallacy of equivocation would be to say "Coded information in a book is not determined by the paper and ink" implying that simply because two things (genetic material and a written book) both contain translatable information; therefore (despite the fact they are completely different types of "information"--one requiring conscious translation the other exhibiting it's function via natural chemical-physical reaction. ) they must have arose from the same mechanism (thought).

[Itseasyifyoutry]

@rynso This is not a fallacy of equivocation: You're saying things contain code IF their physical components (in this case variously configured genetic material) follow certain (semi)predictable processes resulting in (semi)predictable functions and outcomes (in this case genotypes and phenotypes). Then it follows that physical components of matter (fundamental particles) which follow certain predictable processes resulting in predictable functions and outcomes would also be "Coded"

@rynso Oh ok so I'll just repost them then alright? See what happens... =\

@Itseasyifyoutry I have not marked any comment as spam on any video ever...not yours or any by anyone else...

@rynso So i guess my question is are you lying to your targeted political municipalities or are you just lying yourself?
